hdrprobe is a single native binary that answers one question quickly: what HDR and dynamic metadata does this file actually carry? It does the work that normally requires mediainfo, ffprobe, dovi_tool, and hdr10plus_tool together without launching subprocesses in the hot path, writing temp files, or extracting a full RPU stream to disk first. It memory-maps the file and reads only the bytes it needs, so it stays fast regardless of file size.
